PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a conductive member capable of preventing drop-off from a printed wiring board, in a lateral face contact type conductive member.SOLUTION: Provided is a metal conductive member that connects between a first surface and a second surface extending in directions crossing each other. The conductive member comprises: a cylindrical box part whose lateral face abuts on the first surface; and a plate-like spring part extending from an end part of a first side wall including the lateral face or a second side wall opposed to the first side wall. The spring part has: a buffer part that buffers a force in a direction separating from the second surface by elastic deformation; and a curved part provided at a tip side of the spring part from the buffer part. The curved part protrudes from one opening of the box part toward the second surface, and is curved so as to be convex in the protruding direction from the opening. When a force in a direction parallel to the second surface and separating from the first surface is added to the curved part, the tip of the spring part exists in the box part. When a force in a direction parallel to the second surface and approaching the first surface is added to the curved part, the spring part is pressed against an inner surface of the first side wall of the box part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
